Originally posted by jkIf they want this to be the best Mania ever Vince has to open his checkbook and sign some suprises if he hasn't already. I'm talking Jeff Hardy, Psicosis (who was rumoured to debut at the Rumble), Juventud Guerrera, Low-Ki, Elix Skipper and so forth. Plus the following guys can't win the title to make it a good match: Chavo, Rey, Kidman and Noble. We need a new champion like Ultimo or Nunzio to give the division some new flare. Akio would be good also because he could get a character out of it and feud with Tajiri over the title.

#1: Don't Low Ki, Skipper and the TNA guys all have contracts with TNA, which would prevent them from working for WWE?#2: Hardy is concentrating on his music, and I don't think he has the passion to get back into wrestling.#3: Has Juvi gotten cleaned up? I mean, from the drinking and drugs?

Even if they WERE availabe, what in Vince's history suggests he'd be willing to shell out the bucks for these cruiserweights, a division which he could care less about?

Originally posted by jerkflavorkoolaidI think if Low-Ki came in, dominated, and won the damn thing it would be one of the most memorable debuts ever. Low-Ki is too talented, WWE is lame for not using him.

I met Low-Ki after a TNA show last fall and someone asked him about going to WWE ... his words were "they couldn't handle me" ...

Low-Ki walked out of a WWE contract a few years back! He is not willing to compromise his style in order to gain their acceptance. He will NOT be signing with them anytime soon.

And he's not deluded. They asked him to change his style, and he said no, so it sounds like they can't handle him.

As for TNA contracts, I know they signed some of the talent, but am not sure who, specifically. I don't thik Low-Ki signed anything with them, and doubt Elix Skipper did either, but am really not sure.

"Can't handle me" gives the impression that he's too good for the company, which means he's deluded. There are several people in the company whose work he can't touch, and if they can change their styles he can too. I'm not saying he has to, but hell, just say it's not the place for you or you didn't want to change your style, instead of acting like you're a somebody.

im not sure about the whole rules of this CWO. is it like the slamborie 98 open where it was a battle royal and the winner fought jerichio? anyone care to explain.

and if it is liek that battle royal/winner faces chavo, i think they should give it to paul londen. not to win, burt have him be the last. alot of ppl wont know who he is and if he pulls off a good 10 mins with chavo using some of his SICK moveset he could be super over.

Yeah, that's probably gonna' be difficult, seeing as how he isn't one of the participants in it.

Who knows though. Maybe we'll get a final of Low-ki vs. London with run-ins by American Dragon and a miraculously healthy Hayabusa! And Dynamite Kid can be the guest ref!

Originally posted by eviljonhunt81Low-Ki had a developmental contract a few years back, but left after they told him to change his style. So . . . no.

Low Ki had a tryout, not a developmental contract.

Low Ki is 5'5" at the tallest and weighs 160 lbs. He'd make Rey look huge.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.- The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

I don't know about you guys but the cupboard seems pretty bare. Only 10 guys? I agree with jk that Vince needs to shell out for some new blood to make this memorable. Preferably Juvi and Jeff Hardy and maybe Psycosis. I also think that bringing over a couple of Raw CWs like Hurricane and Spike Dudley wouldn't hurt. That makes 15 doesn't it? Sounds about right.

I think Nelson Royal still has the coffee pot over the fire awaiting the opportunity to expound upon the history of the Bunkhouse Stampede for the next time its brought up. Unfortunately, he's been sitting by the fire for over 16 years.

Latest sign RSN's mind might be fading: The new plan is to vote for Jerry Remy's Wally the Beanbag Buddy as the Democratic Primary for President.

After the Hurricane's appearance on RAW, I'm betting that he, Spike Dudley, Paul London & Dean Malenko will appear in the Open (if not, then one of the four).

Originally posted by Big BadIf I'm Paul London and Sakoda, I'm feeling pretty snubbed right about now. You might as well get every Smackdown cruiserweight into this match, so why not throw those two in as well?

I think they used the WCW footage illegally. There's NO WAY the WWE would allow that much of their footage to be used in a low-budget indy flick about a wrestler they've never employed. Especially one that doesn't portray wrestling in the greatest light....
